I had the good fortune to teach @gautambhatia88.bsky.social's brilliant essay and see it go to work, cracking apart a confessionalized sense for Indian fiction, seeding deeper curiosity in its place. It's an exemplar for what digital born history can do. Everyone should dive into this piece.

Delighted — and honoured — to be on the @theignyteawards.bsky.social ballot for “The Secret History of Indian Science Fiction” — and delighted, in particular, for the spotlight on Indian SFFH, and for Alter Mag for making this their inaugural essay.
